Dear Cousins,

Although our families were not close, I wanted to extend my sincere sympathies to you all.

My Mom (Bette) and Dad (Robert A. McIlhenny Jr.) often spoke about the cousins. I know Uncle Matt (he sang at my sister's wedding).

May God keep you in the hollow of his hands and loving arms.

Best regards,

Eileen and Bill Silk

Uncle Alph, You will be deeply missed by all the family. I can only hope you are with Grand Mom and Grand Pop, Uncle Gerald and my Mom Sally. I don't think I will ever forget your ice blue eyes and your commanding voice, they always reminded me of Grand Mom. Good Bye Uncle Alph
